The servant frowned and said, "He's already inside the mansion grounds. He says he wants to get a drink with you because he was in a bad mood."Sure enough, Walbert walked in with a few bodyguards as soon as the servant began his sentence."Hey, Draven..."Walbert had a good relationship with Draven, so he invited himself in and followed the servant into the house. As soon as he entered the room, however, he realized that something was slightly amiss. Aside from the mayor, there were also several elders, and two young people—a man and a woman."What's going on, Draven? Walbert asked curiously.Draven smiled and introduced. "These two young people are my seniors from the Stormy Moon Sect. They're the sect's elite disciples, and they're both strong warrior emperors.""Whoa!" Walbert's heart skipped a beat. He had heard before that the Jolls were backed by a certain sect, but it was only a rumor and he neither saw the people from the sect nor knew which sect it was exactly. Everyone
Satchel's expression soured when he heard that. Walbert was simply too good at blowing another person's horn, and his words only made Meldrick happier—as evident from the growing smile on his face.Meanwhile, Sofia remained expressionless, and Satchel could not tell what was going on in her mind.Draven felt that it made no sense, so he immediately frowned and asked, "You're kidding, right? The Crenshaws are one of Skystream City's first-tier families, and there aren't a lot of people who would dare to provoke you. How are you not able to avenge your woman? Is this person a level nine warrior king or something?""Yes, Mister Walbert! It seems like an exaggeration. How is that even possible?" The Jolls' grand-elder said with a sneer, believing that Walbert had made it up on purpose because he was trying to stay there and get acquainted with the Stormy Moon Sect's seniors.Walbert smiled wryly and had a look of regret in his eyes. "Why would I lie to you about something like this? Th
Meldrick smiled and chimed in, "Four of our juniors have arrived at the gate of the city but decided to take a stroll instead of coming with us. That's why they're not with us right now. Perhaps those people you mentioned just happened to bring up the Stormy Moon Sect when they were chatting. There's nothing to fuss about, right?"The bodyguard gulped, raised his head, and said meekly, "But our guy saw those four people fighting someone in a plaza and ended up… getting killed.""What?!" The smile on Meldrick's face disappeared in an instant, only to be replaced by a look of shock. He never dreamed that the Stormy Moon Sect juniors who came along with him and Sofia had been killed."Is that true? Why would they cause trouble on a whim if this is their first time being in the city? Why would anyone want to kill them?" Sofia's complexion had turned gloomy too, and she never dreamed that her four juniors would be killed."Don't worry. We'll bring a couple of people over to check on the
"Ten beautiful women?" Draven froze for a moment and took a closer over.As soon as he laid eyes on the video, he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He clenched his fists and said, "It's that son-of-a-b*tch who has these pretty women all around him! He's the one who gave me and Riken a hard time at the plaza today!"Walbert immediately took the phone, glanced at it, and said angrily, "You've got to be f*cking kidding me. He's the b*stard who killed my woman! His name is Severin!""How could it be such a coincidence?!" Draven was a little dumbfounded for a moment because it was too huge of a coincidence.Walbert nodded. "It's quite a coincidence, but I'm pretty sure that it's the same guy. Although we can only see the guy's face in this video, I remember these women very clearly.""I remember these women too! In that case, Severin must've been the one who did it." Draven nodded and remarked, "He's asking to be killed. It's a good thing that he killed the Stormy Moon Sect's discip
Walbert came forward and said, "He told me his name when he goaded me and said that I could go look for him at the province governor's sixtieth birthday party. Lucy, the girl I liked whom he killed, mentioned to me that he was from Brookbourn.""He's from Brookbourn?"After hearing that, Draven, Meldrick, and the others gasped in surprise."Impossible! How can such a small city produce someone so strong?!" Zieg was astonished too. "Isn't it a waste of his talent for someone of such high attainment level to stay in a place like Brookbourn?""Hehe, who knows what's he thinking? Let's not pay attention to these little details though. That's what Lucy told me though," Walbert chuckled and said with a hint of irony in his tone.To everyone's surprise, Satchel shook his head and said, "It doesn't really make sense that he's from Brookbourn. If he did come from a small city like Brookbourn, then it would have been impossible for him to be invited to the province governor's birthday even
"In that case, let's just enjoy ourselves tonight and check the city out. It's not like we can resurrect any of them anymore. We'll just avenge them." Meldrick added with a faint smile."You're right. It's already getting late, so I'll get someone to make reservations at a nice restaurant later. We can have a few drinks together and you guys can go take a walk around the city after that." Satchel nodded.Severin and the others had already returned to their hotel by then."We'll probably be meeting Skystream City Mansion's people at the province governor's birthday banquet tomorrow, right? We just offended the mayor's son today, so I'm worried that the other party might try to stir up trouble with us tomorrow." Diane could not help but ask Severin as she leaned against the head of the bed.Severin smiled and said, "Don't worry, although Skystream City Mansion is a strong force, they're still only a city mansion. They might have lots of powerful people, but they still won't be as str
In the middle of a plaza was a big stage that had been temporarily set up, and many superstars were performing on it. Those who were invited to the banquet were undoubtedly all famous people.Outside was a huge open space where guests could park their cars, and many beautifully-dressed female valets assisted the incoming guests."Welcome!" As soon as the car stopped, an extremely sexy woman in a figure-hugging dress smiled politely and walked over. She offered to open the door for Severin and the others.Severin smiled and led everyone toward the entrance."You're here, Severin." Walbert, who had arrived earlier, saw Severin walking with the four beauties and immediately walked over with a smile.His father, Kroan, knew about the previous day's incident and smiled at Severin. "Ah, so you're the infamous Severin? You're quite a bold person. I heard that you offended our family as well as Skystream City Mansion. I didn't think you'd be so brave as to attend the banquet today too! Yo
Regan continued to flatter Severin. "Of course! He became a governor at a young age and is now one of four powerful governors! He keeps a very low profile though, and this might be his first time in Skystream City, which is why you never met him before.""He is young, as you say, but I don't know if there's anything about him that can be considered 'low profile'!" When Kroan thought about the two warrior emperors who would kill Severin soon, he did not care about Severin's status as a county governor and smiled coldly at him with a hint of contempt."Hey, Dad, aren't there people who are young and capable but eventually die young? I remember that there's a phrase used to describe such a situation. I wonder what's it called again?" Walbert had an idea and asked Kroan on purpose.Kroan froze for a moment, pretended to think for a while, and finally said, "I think it's called an untimely demise. It's a shame, really. Such people are genuinely talented, and they would stand to achieve a
